Take a thin slice of tofu and put a small amount of tamari, garlic and onion granules on it. Place a slice of cheese (about the same size as the tofu slice) in a nonstick fry pan. Layer the tofu on top of the cheese, then another slice of cheese. Fry until the cheese becomes brown and crispy, then flip and repeat.

Use extra-firm tofu, cut into chunks and marinate in soy sauce with a little oil added (sesame oil tastes good, or red oil), put on bamboo skewers and grill. On the other skewers: red bell pepper, zucchini, onion, mushrooms, etc. Serve with rice. A little Thai-style peanut dipping sauce tastes good, too. There must be a million ways to vary the ingredients :-)
